Newlines in XML doc <code> elements are not displayed in the IDE, creating an unreadable jumble

Version Used: 16.10.2, 17.0.0-p1.1

The workaround is to add <br/> to every line (not maintainable) and there is no workaround that allows there to be indentation at the start of the new lines. Maybe this is something #54417 can help with, but if the non-CDATA case doesn't preserve newlines and whitespace by default, then the IDE should warn and prompt to escape the contents of the <code> element as CDATA.

/// <summary>
/// <code>
/// public sealed class SomeClass
/// {
///     public void Foo(string name)
///     {
///         Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}!");
///     }
///
///     public bool Confirm()
///     {
///         while (true)
///         {
///             var key = Console.ReadKey(intercept: true);
///             if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.Y) return true;
///             if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.N) return false;
///             Console.Beep();
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// </code>
/// </summary>
class C { }

This was fixed in #53140 (16.11).
